Did you know, that Abit is out of the motherboard business, as of
the end of the year 2008 ? The motherboard you bought is now less
than "Grade B", as it doesn't have a grade at all any more. Yes,
there is still a three year warranty, but will their heart be
in it (i.e. will someone answer the phone).

Looking at their web site, the results are a bit strange looking.
For some reason, they didn't bother putting all the documentation
for their latest motherboards. What their motivation for doing
that would be, is unclear. Most companies put up a complete
package, on the day they introduce a new motherboard model.
Tigerdirect has an IP35 manual, if you need that one. But no IP43 manual.
